Description
Via Botanica takes you through one of Luxembourg’s most diverse and best-preserved natural landscapes. The trail winds its way through broom heaths, oak-hornbeam forests, sunny rocky slopes and meadows.
A special highlight in spring: the daffodil blossom
Every year between the beginning and end of April, the forests of Lellingen transform into a sea of wild daffodils, attracting many visitors. The best time to experience this natural spectacle is early in the morning or on weekdays to avoid crowds.
Important tips during the daffodil season:
Stay on the marked paths - if the ground is trampled, the daffodils won’t grow back next year.
- Do not pick the flowers - leave them in the wild so others can admire them too.
- Parking facilities: Use the designated car park near the old control station and avoid private driveways or fields.
- Public transport: Wilwerwiltz railway station is just 2 km from trail’s starting point, so you can easily visit without a car.
- Keep dogs on a leash - to protect flora and fauna.
A hike for every season
Via Botanica is a beautiful hike not only in spring, but all year round. In summer, the lush greenery provides welcome shade, while autumn transforms the landscape into a vibrant mix of red and gold. Even in winter, the quiet forests offer a peaceful escape into nature.
Whether you're here for the daffodils or simply to enjoy the beauty of Éislek's landscape, Via Botanica promises an unforgettable experience at any time of year.
